He was a private investigator who had “decided to go from crooked to slightly bent,” turning down the shady but lucrative work that New York’s thugs and mobsters had long brought to his door. In \u003ci\u003eKarma\u003c\/i\u003e, Walter Mosley tells us the story of the moment McGill decided to change his ways, when a seemingly classic femme fatale forced him to confront the reality of his life of corruption and betrayal. It was the culmination of a dark and tragic case that reached back through McGill’s entire career, plumbing the full, complex history of the soul-scarred figure now hailed as “a poignantly real character . . . [and] a more than worthy successor to Philip Marlowe.” (\u003ci\u003eThe Boston Globe\u003c\/i\u003e) Originally published in Otto Penzler’s anthology Dangerous Women, \u003ci\u003eKarma \u003c\/i\u003ewas included in \u003ci\u003eBest American Mystery Stories\u003c\/i\u003e 2006, edited by Scott Turow.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120826925296,"sku":"9781101438084","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101438084_p0.jpg?v=1763686668","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101438084","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
